1. Schedules. A company's schedule will meet reasonable requirements and will comply with local service level ordinances.
2. Due care. Other than to offer reasonable care, the company assumes no responsibility for articles left on or near solid waste receptacles.
3. Liability for damage. When a customer requests that a company provide service and damage occurs to the customer's driveway due to reasons not in the control of the company, the company will assume no responsibility for the damage.
4. Refusal of service. (Except as set forth in Section 5, Missed service due to unsafe weather conditions, road conditions, natural disaster or when government authority restricts access to local roads.)
A solid waste collection company may refuse to:
• Collect solid waste from points where it is hazardous, unsafe, or dangerous to persons, property, or equipment to operate vehicles due to the conditions of streets, alleys, or roads.
• Drive into private property when, in the company's judgment, driveways or roads are improperly constructed or maintained, do not have adequate turn-arounds, or have other unsafe conditions; or
• Enter private property to pick up solid waste while an animal considered or feared to be dangerous is not confined. The customer will be required to confine the animal on service days.
5. Missed service due to unsafe weather conditions, road conditions, natural disaster or when government authority restricts access to local roads. A company is not required to collect solid waste when the company determines that it is unsafe to operate due to weather conditions, road conditions, natural disaster, or when government authority restricts access to local roads. The company will collect on the next scheduled service date on which the company deems it is safe to operate, and will take other reasonable actions to resume or provide alternative service as soon as reasonably practicable.
a. The company is not obligated to extend credit to customers for missed service if the company collects the customers' accumulated solid waste on the next scheduled service date on which the company deems it to be safe to operate. The company will not charge for extra waste set out (except provided in Item 207, if applicable) in addition to customers' normal receptacle(s), if the amount of extra waste does not exceed the amount that reasonably would be expected to accumulate due to missed service.
b. If the company does not collect a customer's accumulated solid waste on the next scheduled service date on which the company determines it is safe to operate, the company is required to give a credit, proportionate to the customer's monthly service charge, for all missed service(s). (C)

6. Missed service due to a labor disruption, which causes work stoppages that prevent or limit a company from collecting solid waste. A company must:
a. Immediately inform the commission’s regulatory services and consumer protection staff when a labor disruption is imminent by email at: [email protected]. This email must be used for all communications regarding the labor disruption.
b. Provide daily email reports to the commission regarding the company’s progress toward meeting full service requirements.
c. Develop and implement a customer outreach plan regarding the labor disruption, what to expect, and how to contact the commission.
d. Provide the commission’s regulatory services and consumer protection staff with a copy of the customer outreach plan by email.
e. Provide an email that includes a schedule and plan for communicating with local governments and the media.
f. Use all reasonable, practicable means to resume regularly-scheduled service to all customers within five business days, not including the first day of the labor disruption. Resuming services within five business days is presumptively reasonable and practicable; provided, however, that under specific circumstances arising at the time of a labor disruption, the presumption may be rebutted by evidence that the company acted contrary to the public interest and unreasonably delayed resumption of collection services. Relevant factors may include the company’s resources; the circumstances of the labor disruption; the amount of time, if any, that the company had to prepare for the labor disruption; the company’s execution of any contingency plan, if any; organization and training of any replacement workers; ambulatory picketing that might delay restoration of service; and workplace safety issues and coordination with local government agencies that may affect overall public safety.
g. Collect all accumulated solid waste at the customer’s next regularly-scheduled service date after service resumes as set forth in subsection (f) above. The company will not charge for extra waste set out in addition to customers’ normal receptacle(s) if the amount of extra waste does not exceed the amount that reasonably would be expected to accumulate due to missed service.
h. The company is not obligated to extend credit to missed customers who do not receive service if the company collects the customers’ accumulated solid waste as required in subsection (g) above or if the company did not unreasonably delay the restoration of service during the five business day grace period. If the company does not collect all of a customer’s accumulated solid waste as required in subsection (g) above, or if the company unreasonably delayed the restoration of service during the five business day grace period, the company is required to give a credit to the customer, proportionate to the customer’s monthly service charge, for all missed services and for each subsequent missed service until normal service is restored.
i. When the labor disruption has been settled, notify the commission’s regulatory services and consumer protection staff by email, and indicate when normal service is anticipated to resume.

7. Missed service due to a declared public health emergency
a. Upon declaration of a public health emergency, or upon direction by a federal, state, or local authority, solid waste collection companies may alter services for the health and safety of the general public, its customers and its employees. This may include but is not limited to the altering of normal collection and administrative services.
b. The company shall provide notice to the Commission when services have been altered. The company shall take reasonable actions to notify impacted customers of the situation. The company will maintain continuity of service throughout a public health emergency to the greatest extent practicable while conforming to the emergency declaration. The company will return to normal operations as soon as is reasonable given the circumstances of the emergency.
c. All accumulated solid waste will be collected by the company on the customer’s next regularly-scheduled service date following the resumption of normal operations. The company will not charge for extra waste set out in addition to customer’s normal receptacle(s) if the amount of extra waste does not exceed the amount that reasonably would be expected to accumulate due to the missed service.
8. Definitions:
a. “Reasonably would be expected to accumulate due to missed service” means, at a minimum, the amount of solid waste represented by the number of missed service(s) multiplied by the customer’s subscribed service level. For example, if the company misses two services for a customer who subscribes to one 96-gallon toter, the amount would be the equivalent of 192 gallons (2 services x 96 gallons subscription per service).
b. “Next scheduled service date” – this date is defined by each customer’s subscription service.
i. Example 1: A residential customer subscribes to weekly service that the company schedules for every Wednesday. If the company does not provide service on Wednesday, November 14, the next scheduled service date would be Wednesday, November 21.
ii. Example 2: A commercial customer subscribes to daily service. If the company does not provide service on Wednesday, November 14, the next scheduled service date would be Thursday, November 15.
iii. Example 3: A residential customer subscribes to every-other-week recycling service scheduled for Wednesday, November 14. If the company does not provide service on Wednesday , November 14, the next scheduled service date would be Wednesday, November 28.
